About this episode

Three misfits poke fun at the social pressure to be lovely and slim to an ironic soundtrack. Filmed in a day in the trio's front room, this delightful short celebrates funny-looking bodies, lo-fi values, DIY and punk philosophy throughout. Lovely and Slim premiered at the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2010. Lovely and Slim lyrics It's great to be slim You can wear tiny things If there's a gap in the wall You'll get through if you're small It's great to be slim It's great to be slim You can keep in trim You can go on a bender And wake up still slender It's great to be slim Chorus: Slim, slim, lovely and slim It's great to be slim When you're down at the gym The people who see you They all wanna be you It's great to be slim It's great to be slim You can fit right in When the weather is sunny You can show off your tummy It's great to be slim It's great to be slim It proves you're not dim It's ever so clever To be light as a feather It's great to be slim It's great to be slim If you're not, you're a crim With a low BMI You can reach for the sky It's great to be slim My beautiful legs My elegant neck My delicate wrists My tight upper arms My willowy hips My internal organs ALL LOVELY AND SLIM Original music composed by Simon Murphy Original lyrics and performance by Simon Murphy, Charlotte Cooper and Kay Hyatt
